The SNP still dominates Scotland. It's not killed nationalism but the SNP might need to find something else to focus on for a few months. What it will have killed stone dead is the Conservative idea that Scotland is a foreign country -- the belief that gave us Osborne's gerrymandering boundary reforms and EVEL.
May is toast even if the DUP prop her up. How she is supposed to negotiate a Brexit deal from a position of strength is genuinely absurd. Who replaces her...? BoJo surely not. Rudd if she clings on?
67th on their target list - they've gained some well past that, but not gained some in the top 10 either.
Reading East? That is slightly surprising, and sad. He was a good MP.
Kellner had a good line earlier in response to Clegg having a good campaign, which I think applies to some degree to some good MPs going down. Basically, 'You expect there to be some connection between a good campaign/MP and the end result?'

Even as a hard right Brexit proves to be a seat-losing proposition, its proponents still find time to mourn the re-election of precisely the type of sparky centrist who could help them put together a new proposition.
